"Being here for students means that I’m able to provide the resources that students need at the time. It’s not just financial. Some students might have mental health problems. They might have learning disabilities that need to be addressed. The financial aid office is the place where they come to address multiple issues. Sometimes financial need issues really just cover an underlying issue that students need help with. We need to be there for them."

Karine is a former financial aid counsellor from Ottawa, Ontario. She knows that students needs both financial and emotional support to be successful and take that step to post-secondary education.

Like hundreds of thousands of educators and parents across Ontario, Karine is concerned about the impact Doug Ford's cuts to education including fewer courses, less support staff and more crowded classrooms, will have on Ontario's future.

If you agree with Karine then join our movement to protect Ontario's students from these cuts.
